I've been sick this week

So I was home Monday, tried to go to work Tuesday and realized I shouldn't have and came back. At some point during the day yesterday Rikki, Sydney and I were sitting at the computers with Syd on my lap. She wanted to see pictures of Ashton so I opened them up.

You know how you can cycle through the pictures with the image viewer using the arrow keys? Well, I was cycling through these pictures of Ash where I took a bunch of pictures one after another so when we went through them it looked like he was moving his arms and changing expressions. Add some music with a beat from the daddy beatbox and we had a dancing Ashton. Sydney loved it! She was cracking up so hard over it. It had us all laughing. It was a really fun moment, however breif it was.

What's in a Name?

(9:40:16 AM) Jake: Turns out 'Ash' is not such an odd name after all
(9:48:13 AM) Darin: i just hope he doesn't have 3 Ash's in his class
(9:48:24 AM) Jake: you know, that's not impossible
(9:48:41 AM) Jake: but eh, it's a good name - he'll be 'Ash B'
(9:49:06 AM) Darin: or Ashtrick
(9:49:18 AM) Darin: but we'll call him * for short
(9:49:35 AM) Jake: lol
(9:49:56 AM) Jake: Hi, I'm *, and this is my uncle @~
(9:50:02 AM) Darin: hehehe

As Promised...

Here is a picure we took after Ashton's bath tonight when Rikki was getting him to smile.

Ashton Pix

I'm going to have to do the vacation story in stages, so part 1 is some pictures of Ashton. I didn't take a ton the day of the blessing because I saw enough cameras going off, so if any of you have some great ones to share, please post them! I'd forgotten how tiny babies are, and how floppy! He sure is cute though! While I haven't yet had the pleasure of getting peed on, I did get spit up on my first night at Darin's. I didn't mind so much though--it's the risk you take when you agree to feed him, and it's totally worth it! These pictures were taken at the Aquarium--don't worry, I have plenty more from there which I will save for another post!

Hello from Darin, Rikki, Sydney and Ashton

Just wanted to say Hi to everyone and be an example on the new blog. We were very glad to have everyone come for Ashton's blessing last Sunday. And sorry we missed those who couldn't come. Everything went well and we had a good time.

Rikki, Syd and Ashton went to the Aquarium with LeeAnn, Jamie and her kids yesterday. I was at work and couldn't go. We tried to go visit them that evening but things just didn't work out and we stayed home.

Rikki is getting ready for a big boutique in the morning where she will be selling lia sophia jewelery and selling the remainder of her Finder's Key Purse inventory. We hope it goes well for her and for me as I'll be stay at home dad for the day with both kids.

Here are a couple pictures to appease the grandparents.
